• delete nn _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 23:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• delete as per nom - googling turns up nothing DrIdiot 23:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• do not delete! Shrager is an up and coming poet. I studied him in my Post-Modern Poetry course at Georgetown University. I understand google may not have returned many hits, but take it from an English student, this guy is the real deal. You must remember, he's a poet, not a movie star. William Carlos Williams didn't move to Hollywood and live the life of a celebrity; he practiced pediatrics in New Jersey. Asp330 23:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • WCW published his first book of poems at age 26. his work has influenced generations. Kingturtle 23:51, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Shrager is 24, imagine what he'll be able to do with the 2 year head start. Asp330 24:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
      • then we'll make the article once he's made significant contributions to poetry. Kingturtle 00:15, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Call me cynical, but when I see a reference for his "tragic accident with a snow machine," then I'll believe this article is something other than a joke. --Thunk 00:35, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. What's more, as far as I can tell, there is no shipping magnate named "Ignatius Brandt", the other member of the so-called "Pittsburgh School" of poetry mentioned in the article. This has hoax written all over it. --Thunk 03:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Mild chuckles for a bit, but it's over now. Ruby 03:33, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. *drew 05:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. The poetry stuff is WP:BALLS, but the photography part might possibly make him notable. However, it's unverifiable for the time being. Stifle 09:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
